Building Bridges

You will begin your bridge project by researching types of bridges. You will find the different types of bridges, the strengths and what kind of spans certain bridges can cover. You will then design a bridge to cover a gorge with a span of 300 meters. If time permits you will build a prototype of your bridge and test it in class.
